My target 21 kms

Villie Saige

Our baby boy Villie Saige was born at 35 weeks at 1.8kg and with premature lung disease due to his lungs not fully developing before birth. 
( I had severe HG and placenta bleeding throughout my pregnancy)
He is on home oxygen now and will hopefully be able to support himself on room air in the next 3-12 months. 
The critical neonatal intensive care unit at SCUH kept our baby alive when God simply couldn't.  
We spent 4 weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit at SCUH,  the amazing team of paramedics, doctors, nurses, volunteers etc are what kept us going in the darkest of times and are what kept our baby alive. 
We will be forever grateful ? 

This November I’m taking on the Premmie Marathon Challenge, JOIN ME

I’ll be clocking up my kms in the Premmie Marathon Challenge to raise funds for life-saving neonatal equipment that will give critically ill and premature babies a better chance of survival.

I'd love your support - if you can, please make a generous tax-deductible donation here. 

Thank you for your support.
Your donation will help keep me motivated as I complete my challenge through November, knowing that each km I complete is helping save the lives of sick and premature babies.

Fancy joining me? You can sign up for the Premmie Marathon Challenge too! Simply choose your challenge distance and start clocking your kms for premmie babies.
